Year 6 – Our train expert

22nd February 2024Jillian Jackson

A massive shout out to Theo’s Mum who came and spoke to the children this morning about her role as a train driver. The children loved hearing all about: the skills needed to be a train driver, what is involved in the day to day job and the importance of train safety. They went on to ask some thoughtful and enquiring questions and hopefully it will have inspired some of our children to set themselves aspirations for a future career. Ask the children if they can remember the importance of 6 sheep to a train driver; this was linked to an interesting but funny fact!

Crew Jackson – Art hook lesson

20th February 2024Jillian Jackson

This afternoon we began our art case study and hooked ourselves into our learning by exploring different watercolour techniques linked to control and tone. I can’t wait until we begin our final art work; I am certain we have some budding artists among our crew.

On Monday, we had our first Community Crew Meeting since Christmas, it was lovely to see everyone together again and celebrate the great start to our learning in Spring term!

A huge shout out to everyone who received HOWL point certificates and especially our Crew Champions! An added shout out to Miss Barnett’s Crew for their impressive Howl point total!! I wonder if anyone will top it next week?!

Crew Jackson – Clean water challenge!

15th January 2024Jillian Jackson

This afternoon, the children worked in teams to see if they could turn their bottle of water into the cleanest. They all rose to the challenge – applying their scientific knowledge on separating materials from last week. It was a close competition!

Well done to Ronnie, Amy, Georgia and India who finished first as they had the most cleanest water left at the end due to no spillages!
